Re: Not!
By your reasoning, Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Kobe, etc etc are lacking something. They are doing it just to win, not for the money, not because its +EV, just to win, to test themselves. Now I highly doubt any of these guys have a confidence problem and Tiger and Roger certainly aren't immature, so what are they lacking? I cant believe that you wouldnt want to try to win a big buy-in tournament just because it may not be +EV. Surely it cant be too much -EV. Lets say you figure to dump 5k on average. 5k for a few days playing with great players and the chance to win big seems like it may be worth it. Also, I dont think you do know how good you are. In poker, good is only a relative term. So unless you know how good everyone else is, you dont know how good you are. Hence the need to test. Your lack of competitiveness is astounding.
